Dudes Share The Creepiest Interactions They Had With Girls

Creepy, obsessive and manipulative behavior is not gender exclusive, and just about everyone has had to endure moments of creepiness in their lives. Whether it's an ex sneaking into your house or a total stranger not reading the room, it's always awkward. These creepiest things people said on first dates or these cringey nice guys are just a taste of how quickly things can get uncomfortable. Bridging the gap from creepy to just scary and bad situations, here are people's "man, I gotta get outta here" moments.

Twitter Thread: How Rattata Could Theoretically Beat Goku

Yeah, this is basically stupid, but hey, it's important to never apologize for the dumb stuff you're into. Everyone has their stupid. For the ones who played the Pokémon games while watching old episodes of Dragon Ball Z, this means something, alright? We all know that Pokémon's probability system is madness, but assuming Goku isn't holding a quick claw or something that lets him sneak in a senzu bean, this looks like it holds up.

Hold on, does quick claw provide enough of a stat buff to override the priority of quick attack? Whatever.

But hold on, would Goku's instant transmission be fast enough to end the fight before it even began?

Either way, there's no argument that Rattata could beat Yamcha with no strategy.

Red Flags Recruiters Find On Resumes That Ruin Candidates' Chances

Recruiters are in the positions that they are because they've been professionally trained to sift through the patches of candidates that are doing whatever they can to separate themselves from the rest of the pack through vivid descriptions of their professional exploits, and occasional fabrications to make their lives seem that much grander. So, if you find yourself realizing that you've been employing some of the deceptive resume tactics present in this AskReddit thread, it might be time to rethink the strategy. 

Exciting New Sentences That Went Long Unuttered

Human beings are nothing if not creative, and we have an eye for the particular. Thanks to the fluid, ever-evolving nature of language, and the systems of meaning pre-built into context, our brains are able to word better than words can even word themselves. And because of that, sometimes a patch of words hits you in just the right way, like a spicy rare insult  or a funny tweet or tumblr gem where you go "alright I bet no one ever said that before."

Man Tells Neighbor Off For Stealing Rain Water He Collected

While rain is most certainly a "free" thing that occasionally falls from the sky, if someone goes through the trouble of collecting it, it's just a bit inconsiderate to undo their work by taking their rain water. It sounds like this guy was just trying to put the neighbor's entitlement in check. The last thing anyone wants to do is to let a neighbor's entitlement run amok and end up just getting worse. For some more neighbor drama check out these neighbors that claimed someone's private property was communal space, and then ended up getting towed in the process. 

Animals Who Shamelessly Wrecked Stuff

To what extent is a cat or dog capable of feeling guilt? The answer is case by case. In the case of some pets like Prancer, the most irredeemable dog, you're likely to get as much remorse as you would a rock. Some dogs probably think they're doing you a favor by eating the door so you can be together. Maybe dogs who get stuck in things are a little more emotionally invested in you if they need your help, but they're also pretty good at making it seem like they don't really care.

Most Awkward Dates People Have Ever Been On

Dating can be a disorienting, discouraging, outright wild experience in life. Sometimes, you find yourself on a date with someone who seemed completely normal, reasonably sane, and then realize that they were just doing a terribly great job at hiding all of their red flags. This Twitter thread that includes people describing the most unforgettably awkward dates they've ever been on might make you feel better about the worst dates you've ever had to suffer through. 

Maniacal Building Manager Grills Fire Marshall, Fire Marshal Plays Into It

This isn't the first time that we've seen someone in a position of power let all that intoxicating authority get to their heads, and we sure doubt it'll be the last time. It sounds like this building manager was just asking for a bit of a wakeup call. Fortunately, the fire marshal had the presence of mind to give it to him. And just picturing the rest of the people that were subjected to that infuriatingly long fire drill, rally around to vocalize their complaints is really something special. 

Totally Legal Things People are Addicted To

We're all creatures of habit, but some habits of ours become more than that. And it's not like  illicit substances or gambling or shoplifting are the only things people can become addicted to. Caffeine, sugar, or the satisfying feeling of a Q tip hitting the Q spot are all things we find ourselves depending on. Sometimes you have to look in the mirror and tell yourself "you're addicted to diet coke." 

Husband Sells Wife-Made Sandwiches For Dirty Burger Money

In what he probably thought was the big-brain scheme of the century, this guy was selling sandwiches his wife made for him at work so he could buy fast food. It's a little sad, because clearly if they're in demand, the sandwiches themselves are really good. Is this too ridiculous and petty? Is it a massive betrayal of trust? It's definitely something, so the internet judged. And how hard is it for this guy to make his own sandwiches? For another relationship food quarrel, here's a picky eater husband who demanded fancier meals.

Customer Experiences Logical Paradox of Wet Clothes Stuck In Broken Washer

What do you do when your washing machine breaks, sealing your wet clothes inside itself? Do you bust open the machine like a safe full of your own sopping underwear, breaking the warranty in the process? Do you let your clothes rot in their tomb and eat the cost of half your whole wardrobe? It's not an easy choice already, but slap on some wholly unaware customer service and you've got yourself a predicament. Impossible-to-win moments like this are a good reason why some customers cause scenes.

Entitled Mom Harasses Neighbor About Free Babysitting

This is such a wild scenario that we're not even sure if it's totally accurate to just call the mom in this story "entitled." Like, she is far out there, man. The whole element in the story where she's apparently been taking the money her husband has been giving her for babysitting, is just a tad bit ridiculous as well. Like, what's really going on over there? With all that being said, we're just grateful that the dramatic, stressful saga was eventually able to be resolved when everything came to light, and the husband learned about what had been going on. The nerve of some people truly blows the mind. 

IT Guy Misunderstands Bad Mouse Reference, Fail Ensues

You've got to love the terribly vindictive nature of the company involved in this rather absurd unfolding of events. After they clearly lose a case that they never needed to start up in the first place, they just have to throw out some more unnecessary animosity before it's all said and done. As for the IT guy misunderstanding the bad mouse report, it can happen to the best of us. Sounds like he was merely caught up in all of his company's nonsense. For another tech support tale, check out the time that an owner fired the whole IT department, and the sabotage that ensued. 

Tumblr Thread: Reasonable Bed Positions Explained

It's funny and enlightening Tumblr threads like the one we have here that can effectively shine a light on just how hilariously different, people's habits can end up being. In this case, we're dealing with a series of different, occasionally wildly unacceptable bed positions. Some people set their bed up to feel safe as possible. Some people are like Thomas Jefferson, and apparently from another planet. If this Tumblr thread got you going, check out some more random and funny Tumblr gems over here. 

History Memes For Book-Learned Knowledge Mongers

Sure, we must learn history or else we're doomed to repeat it. But mostly we learn history so we can understand sweet history memes for the splendiferously learned. Why study anything else when there are Great Emu War and Mongol expansion references to be made? It's time for those delectable history memes to become one with time.

Tenant Rents Fake Apartment, Accidentally Takes Pro Revenge

I mean, in all fairness an accidental professional revenge is better than no revenge at all. It seems as if the world's unfortunately never going to run out of shady landlords trying to pull fast ones on unsuspecting tenants. So, I guess it falls on us to read up on those tenant rights, and then clap right on back with pro revenges when the opportunities present themselves. For some more landlord drama check out this tenant who staged a coup d'état on a terrible landlord. 

Impatient Dude Tries To Turn Company's Community Against Them, Totally Backfires

We're all prone to fits of impatience. Unfortunately, sometimes that impatience can manifest in some pretty rude behavior. Especially when it comes to trying to get a hold of customer service, and being told that there might be a bit of a wait. Fortunately in this case, the company's community remained loyal and promptly shut this guy's complaining down. For another tale from the world of call centers, check out this story about an old lady who couldn't get any sympathy and then how an employee saved the day. 

Infamous Incidents That Happened At Retail Workers' Jobs

Anyone who has ever worked a customer service job knows that the gig comes with all kinds of emotional hardships that fall well outside the pay grade. You could be having a perfectly peaceful day, maybe even somehow in a good mood as you're stocking shelves, and then boom, a Karen walks in. A Karen who has taken it upon herself to completely upend your day with all kinds of nasty, entitled, toxic nonsense. Hopefully none of these infamous incidents from retail workers ring any bells for you. 

Owner Fires IT Guy, Completely Sabotages Own Business

Is there a quicker, more sure-fire way to sabotage your own company than firing everyone and deleting all of your valuable work-related data? It's like this owner was trying to ruin himself as fast as humanly possible. It's never a good idea to screw over the IT guy. Case in point, this time management illegally banned overtime pay and IT got it all back.

Employee Derails Incompetent Boss By Working Scheduled Hours

When you're already going above and beyond to cover someone else's loose ends, it's a breath of fresh air to be ordered to just do your job. This boss didn't know what they were getting into when they tried to tell this employee to simply work their scheduled hours. For another dumb boss story, here's a boss who orchestrated their own downfall.

Laughable and Dumb Building Maneuvers In Need of A Pro

Sure, you're allowed some creative license when it comes to designing a living space, but some of the unprofessional "not my job" moments and low budget solutions involved in building that place can get to be a bit much. It's hard to choose between having a permanent kitchen toilet or a permanent unmovable rafter ladder. What about a repurposed jug door handle? No?

Worst Baby Names People Have Encountered

Some baby names are far worse than others. You might've encountered a baby name out in the wild that left you mystified, troubled, helplessly confused. It's as if the parents had a terrible lapse in judgement, and for whatever reason decided to curse their poor kid with a name that would go on to haunt them into their later years. Hopefully none of these ring a bell. For a similar AskReddit thread check out some dumb baby names that parents (somehow) had to be talked out of. 

Twitter Thread: What Every State Is Famous For, According to a Brit

It can be a real wakeup call to hear what a total stranger thinks of the place you and your family have lived their whole lives. For all you know, every person you live with, work with, know and love could be summed up in someone's brain as "the place with all the corn." Depending on where you live, your culture might measure space and time differently than someone else. Here are some non-americans' biggest culture shocks they felt when visiting.

A Few Great, Stupid Loopholes That Worked

When we're told that something just can't be done, there's a powerful few of us who look at the rules in play and take another whack at it. It might err on the side of deception, but at the same time, it's not against the rules. For an awesome one, here's a student who took advantage of a dry ice loophole that made a mockery of a robotics competition.

Woman Posts Ad For Prancer, The Most Irredeemable Dog

Dogs are blessed with their own unique personalities, and in Prancer's case, that's a major problem. We've all met dogs (and people) who are so maligned, so antisocial, so petty, vindictive and hateful that their search for any semblance of love sounds laughable. Prancer is advertised as that kind of being. Given his exposure, he'll probably find a loving home after this. But who knows if his little, shaking, snarling body has enough love in it to ever reciprocate the sentiment. For a story about a much nicer dog, here's a tumblr tale of a dog who figured out how to herd a lawn roomba.

Manager Tries To Embarrass Employee, Proceeds To Self Destruct

The fact that this manager ended up quitting after unsuccessfully trying to humiliate an employee, is the real icing on the cake. It's a true mystery how some of these incompetent managers end up being in the positions of power that they are. At least this particular manager was ultimately defeated. 

Company Offers 80 Cent Bonuses, Employee Responds In Kind

In any system that claims it pays you based on your output, it's important to know what you're worth, and 80 cents is something most people would see as an insult. This person weighed his options and decided what a better use of his time would be. It's not uncommon for employers to make workmore difficult than it has to be, as evidenced by situations that made people go "screw this, I'm out." For more shenanigans over miniscule amounts of money, here's a dude who got hounded over trivial debt and ended up mailing them a dime.

Man Requests Day Off For Concert, Boss Fires Him, Man Takes Boss To Court

Oh boy, this sounds like a nasty Karen of a boss indeed. This guy put in a very reasonable request for a day off to attend a Slayer concert, and the request proceeded to set off a chain reaction of highly unanticipated toxicity. Fortunately, the guy was able to pull off a satisfying victory in small claims court. 

Seal Mouths Off To Cat, Cat Puts Seal In Place

I just wonder what was going through the mind of the seal when it pulled up to chop it up with the cat. Was it a simple, "hey how's it going?" Or perhaps, something more incendiary. 

"Not My Job" Moments of Professional Incompetence

It's rare to be in love with your job, so naturally, most of us are going to try and get by with the absolute bare minimum. Usually it works out, but sometimes the cracks begin to show and the "not my job" moments start to pile up. Oh, we'd all love to to make everything look perfect, lined up, spelled right and on point but frankly, that's not my job.
